What is emotional intelligence?

The ability to express and control our own emotions is important, but so is our ability to understand, interpret, and respond to the emotions of others. Imagine a world where you couldn't understand when a friend was feeling sad or when a co-worker was angry. Psychologists refer to this ability as emotional intelligence, and some experts even suggest that it can be more important than IQ.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups. It can be divided into ability EI and trait EI. Criticisms have centered on whether EI is a real intelligence and whether it has incremental validity over IQ and the Big Five personality traits

simply put, it is a way of understanding your emotions and not being controlled by your emotions

 Emotional inelegance is the awareness of ones emotions and the management of the emotions of others. Its practice varies depending on the place of the application. For example, in Japanese manufacturing world there is no such thing, their success came from the elimination of emotions in the work place, and the elimination of the human factor from the equation as much as possible, and instead they depend entirely on policies, procedures and systems. However in other settings such as social setting, the awareness of your own emotions and the management of the emotions of others may apply; your intelligence, leadership skills, and your knowledge in human psychology field will contribute to the success of the application.

Emotional intelligence is about how you deal with your emotions during any time you confront or deal with a person. To let their emotions aside and deal with your emotion is a different way. Emotions is a primary trait in humans identity. It can showcase who you are as person. It is a necessary to have emotions, but what is more important is how you deal with your emotions for example, if you are too aggressive or too calm, it can effect and harm the person. What the person can do is deal with their emotions in a fair way,  and that is not to be too aggressive or to be calm, be in the middle.
